COLOMBIA. MESSAGE OF THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF COLOM elf 110 ED WITH THE GOVERNMENT, TO THE CONGRESS OF 1826. " Citizen: of the Senate and Chamber of Representative:, "On terminating your legislative functions for the first con. etitutional period of the Republic, you had a vast field opened for the employment of your knowledge and patriotism with Utility to the Colombian People. The state of Internal tran quillity which the nation happily enjoys, and the progress of its foreign relations, offer you an advantogeous:occasion for me liorating the administration, and perfecting the laws, from whose wisdom and fitness must arise the prosperity of Colombia. Re mote from the din of arms„ atel enlightened by a sound public , opinion, and by your own experieocei yoirmay, in the present Session, contribute to consolidate theAdificeHof liberty, which has been raised on costly andimmente fiacilflees: • The funda mental law imposes on me the agreeable d'utyof Resisting you with the information which the practice of the administration furpishes ; and I proceed to fulfil an obligation which is in per. feet accord with the wishes of my heart. The Spanish Government, blind to the frequent means of being undeceived, which occurred in its contest with America, and deaf to the advice of impartial and experienced Govern ! tnents, gives no signal of abandoning it, hostile projects against this Republic. The GOveinment Of 'Colombia, by a conduct worthy of the cause which it defends, has redoubled its 'efforts to draw Spain to an honourable reconciliation, in proportion as the successes of our arms, and the march of the Republic, ir revocably ratified our independence. You will see in the docu ments which I shall cause to be hid before you, the good offices performed in our favour by some of the Powers of Europe and America towards the Cabinet of Madrid—the steps which the Executive has takep in the same spirit—and the firmness and dignity with which it has sustained the cause and principles of the ColoMbian people. It is less troublesome to withhold all intercourse with so obstinate a Government than to argue with it ; nevertheless, the Executive will not be discouraged by the difficulties which oppose themselves to the negotiation of pellet . I will maintain with constancy these beneficent views, and I can assure you, that if we do not obtain a reconciliation sincere and worthy of Colombia, we possess sufficient means to carry on the war with the honour and success with which the Republic has sustained it for lb successive years. " Our relations with the American Governments, and parti. cularly with those of the United States, Mexico, and Peru, have been consolidated in a manner capable of insuring a per petual and sincere friendship with them. In Panama there are assembling the Plenipotentiaries of the New States of Ame rica, to ratify, in the most solemn manner, our common resolu tion to maintain and defend national independence and liberty against the attacks' of their enemies. This Assembly, the fruit of the most lively desires of preserving what has been gained by the sacrifices of the American people, and also the fruit of the most ardent wishes of the Government of Colombia and its Li. berator, for peace and amity between all the belligerent confe. derates, is, in the opinion of the Executive, the completion 2f the guarantees of our independence. I have taken care to have it made known in Europe what arethe true objects of' the As. sembly of the Isthenus, in order to dissipate any unpleasant Impressions of it that might be entertained by some Cabinets, less from the insidious conduct of our enemies than the magni tude of the enterprize that we have succeeded in realising. " The Peruvian Republic has recovered its political exist ence, by the sword, and under the direction of the Liberator President. You know what has been the result of the efforts of General Bolivar, efficaciously protected by the fidelity of the people of Peru, to the common cause, and by the constancy And intrepidity of the defenders of liberty. In Ayacucho was 'conquered the Spanish army, which domineered over all that vaiiecountry, and from that glorious slay, until the death of the enemy's chief, who occupied Potosi, the united arms of 'Colombia and Peru, under the immediate command of a skilful and fortunate Colombian General, obtained an innumerable se ries of successes. In consequence of such glorious struggles, the provinces of Upper Peru, the cradle of American liberty, have assumed that political existence of which they were in want, raising themselves to an independent state. In the transports of their enthusiasm and grati tude, the citizens of this new nation have taken the name of the Bolivar Republic, consecrating in this manner, till the consummation of ages, the illustrious name of the Liberator of Colombia. I have not words to express to you the sentiments of joy and --- gratitude which this Govern ment has' felt from the homage paid to the Liberator, to the Colombian army, and to its General, by the Congress of Peru, the Assembly of Chuquisaca, and , the Peruvian cities, citizens, and whole population. The Congress will receive a Deputation of the Representatives of Peru, whose principal object it to present to you a testimony of their gratitude, for the /d effbrts made, in spite oflgaipiejudices,:by th e R e p u blic o a f Colombia, in favour of the i n d epen d ence and liberty of the l'e• • ,ruvians. doubt not. but that N p' di' with you pm a tsethe, complacent sentiments of the Executive, in seeing realised an enterprise, which seemed at one time to put to hazard our own destiny. A pan of the 'Willful ii.my is returning to its coun try, and another pan will remain in Peru, at the disposition of • that Oovernment, tp stipPort: the deliberitilons or the people; and ~to protect internal tranquillity, while that fititimay quire it, and while this Republic needs not its troops. In or der to fulfil the treaties which bind us to the United Mexican states, I have disposed of a part Of our farces in the manner which will be afterwards explained to you. " The common cause of America, interested in this arrange. menu, will thereby be vitally benefitted, and them will be no ,part of the new world in which the Republica Colombia will a it have assisted in persecuting its old oppressors, and in bring ing peace to Its brothers. ." There exists no cause of complaint on the part of the go vernment of the Brazils. The Executive' has delayed opening the negotiations, which are, on account of the question of boundaries, necessary to be established with that Government,. until security. will be given that the Minister of the Republic will be received there in the forms acknowledged by the laWoft nations. Foreign journals represent the Emperor as in dispute with the Government of Buenos Ayres, on account of the pos session of the Bantle Oriental. The executive has not received any official information on tile subject. The treaty of peace, friendship, navigation, and commerce, which we formed with the United States of America, having beer' ratified by the President of those States, our' relations continue on the happiest and most flattering footing. The convention against the trade in African negroes has not been ratified, on account of the doubts which arose in the Senate of the United States, and of which the Secretary for Foreign Affair* will be able to give you ample detail. " The treaty of peace and amity with his Britannic Ma jesty, which you approved last Session, is in like manner about to be ratified by the British Government. From that moment, die political and commercial connections between the Republic and Great Britain will be permanently established on a basis beneficial to both nations, and useful to the cause of A merica. After this treaty had been signed, I received in a suitable form and manner the Charge d'Affaires of his Britannic Majesty, who resides in this capital. The commercial agents continue at our sea-ports on the footing, which, as I described to you in my former Alessage, allowed them to exercise theirfunc thins ; and as the cause which gave rise to thisyroceediog,on the part of the Government edit subsists, I 7 have seen no reaetini to alter the rules of my conduct. Our Consults and commerciej4 agents in the United Kingdom of Great' Britairf and Ireland,. will be immediately dispatched to those ports which. may besit . suit our mercantile relations. " The Executive has laboured'with the greatest interest at the Court of his Most Christian Majesty, in order to obtain an ex plicit declaration front that Govermnent,in resold of the Repub. tic. It was a preliminary necessary to the issue of our wishes and endeavours, to make to that Government various explana tions, and to represent to it the true rule of our conduct, for the purpose of clearing up several points on which ideas were en. tertauned by no means advantageous. For this purpose I gave authority, in the manner best suited to the nature of the case,' to a confidential agent, who has corresponded to our expecta tions ; his communications will be presented in full to you, and I feel assured, that the Congress will give its approval to the circumspection with Which the ail tir has been conducted in cir cumstances of considerable difficulty, anti will not fail to ap plaud the tirnintris -with which we have supported the system proclaimed by the people of Colombi a . I h ave no reason to doubt, that th e French (Jovernment, supported by the opinion of the nation, will, at• length, i n i m i tat i on o f the other great Powers, acknowledge our sovereignty turd then proceed to vita, .blislt relations of amity which irony biltikleful to both the one people, and the other. " The relations with the Apostolic' See, subsist, under an in. definite character, for reasons not difficult to vete. Very par ticular circumstances have induced me to carry on this atikir with the highest prudence, confident that the course of events will hereafter praduce a result favourable to the stability of public order. The laws which the Congress has enacted on subjects connect:d with public worship and ecclesiastical dis ici y l i e e , s t h a a s y s e u r b ei e c t ? m in t nu f n a eed shouldthe S a e r e o , f t l u t c o e Go , v e a r n n d o e o n u t will support with dignity and resolution, the rights of the people of Colombia. " The Republic enjoys internal tranquillity; the Constitution is respected, the laws are observed, and the Colombians possess freely the right of demanding their fulfilment. The Constitu tional elections, for the renewal of the -National Representatives, have been effected without any disturbances, and with that free doin which a sovereign people ought to use. The public press has discharged a part of its duties in the examination of those important subjects, which the Republic, in the exercise of its rights, had to decide upon, and although it was impossible, and even inefficacious, to place bounds to the insidious language of the passions, we have seen, with satisfaction, that it was never able to cause a relaxation in the springs of the moral force of our Government. The political administration of the depart ments and provinces, as well as or justice, has received a great amelioration by the laws of the 11th of March, and of the 1 1th and 13th of 'May, which are now in execution. There are, without doubt, imperfections to correct, vacancies to tilt up, and doubts to remove, in this imminent branch of the felicity of our fellow citizens ; and, although I am aware that some years must elapse, that civilization must he forwarded, and that instruction must be diffused, in order to be able to form a complete code of laws, capable of protecting liberty, of maintaining order, and of raising the nation to an elevated grade, of prosperity and glory, I ant induced to promise to myself, that front your en lightened lobule s and front the reports which I have'requested from the tribunals of justice, asystem will be introduced in it self more perfect, as well as. more conformable to our institu tions. Examine, therefore, with careful Attention, if it be proper to establish, at this period, and to"all cases, the excellent guarantee of Juries; or, if it ought solely to be extended, in ad dition to commercial affaire and to abuses of the press, to which it is now confined, to criminal cases, or at least to those crimes, which are either most injurious to society, or are committed with most frequency. Education requires an uniform plan, and sufficient funds, in order to be extended 'throughout all the Republic; and, that hereafter, no parish be without a lameasterian school, anti no province without a College for students. Notwithetanding that the views or the Executive'have been opposed by these difficulties; we can still flatter ourselves, that admirable improvements have beets made on this imp or ' on tent topic. The c +lonization and . cultivation of the national lands, which Creee placed at the disposal of the Govern.. g ment, are ab out to be effected within a very short time; sub. ject to the regulations and' agreements entered into with the undertakers, of w hi c h the nation has been already informed by official publi cat i ons.
